Web sling re-webs are used cases that web slings suffer from some form of damage. If the damage is too severe then the web sling will need to be discarded. Minor damage to a web sling can often be repaired by a specialist.
It is possible to have your webbing slings re-webbed. If you have old and/or worn out webbing on your lifting sling then re-webs can help. Web sling Re-webs can be much more cost efficient than purchasing a new sling. They also enable you to re-use your own fittings, rather than to buy a completely new web sling configuration complete with webbing and fittings.

INITIAL INSPECTION: prior to any sling being placed inaction, it must be checked over by a competent person to make sure that the right sling is being used for the task, and also to establish that the sling meets all necessary requirements and has not been damaged in delivery.
FREQUENT INSPECTION: This inspection should be made by a designated person handling the sling every time the sling is used. You should be on the lookout for cuts, holes and/or tears as well as stitching which has come undone. Other things to look for include worn eyes and worn or corroded or distorted fittings. These can also be detrimental as can burns from acidic substances, caustics or heat.
Thorough inspections should be conducted AT LEAST 6 monthly by a qualified person, load tests can also be performed during this check. You should retain inspection paperwork whilst the item is in use.

Legally you should have all lifting equipment thoroughly inspected at timely intervals. Lifting accessories such as slings should be inspected at least every 6 months. It is 12 months for large equipment like cranes and hoists. Sometimes, depending on how you use your equipment, inspections will occur more frequently. Inspections will detect potential problems often whilst they are still repairable. Once repaired and re-checked you will receive new certification.
